I had to go to a different (closer) gym today because of a snow storm. Different gym = different equipment = wonky numbers.
The bench wasn't normal, it was some weird snakey S shaped thing. Hard to explain. It's three pieces, instead of just two, and the middle piece is on an angle but you can't adjust it. So you have the seat, then a small middle piece, then the long piece. It was awkward.
I think the bars were heavier, maybe five pounds. Can't tell, but they felt heavier.
The seated row machine had me sitting on the ground instead of on a bench. For some reason I choose not to ponder over, this = a weaker position. That, and the pulleys on this machine weren't smooth at all.
Also, I just like to complain. All said and done, this was a pretty good workout. Considering I shoveled snow twice before lifting, I think I did pretty good.
Pulling tomorrow. I might have to go back to the same gym. That's ok though, I'm not using any equipment besides the squat rack/barbell. Looking forward to it. I'll probably bring my camera, and video the rack pulls/goodmorning. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.
